When the Sea Gives Up its Dead.

"Rare coral and shell are cast up by
the brine,
And lie on the poor crystal sand;
With amber and pearls aud bright sea-
weed they shine
All scattered along on the strand;
Yet jewels more precious lie buried be-
low,
Whose beauty, whose value no mortal
may know"
Far, far beneath the restless
heaving bosom of old ocean, fold
ed in their last long sleep rests
many IA fair form who found there
grave.
No cleaning monuments mark
the last resting place of the silent
Slumberers, but the same wild bill,
lows roll over alI-the same wave
sings IA sad sweet requiem to their
honor. Over all alike the glorious
sunlight falls, aud the bowling tenn
pests rave; and there unmarked
by any symbol of love the rich and
poor, the great and small, will sleep
on until the last great day, when
the sea will give up It's dead.
The ocean is the largest of cemer
teries, and many fair, beautiful
forms that sink meath the wave,
.!and went down with the Storm"
rest sweetly amid the dark coral
groves, while above them forever,
the fierce way es play, theu burst on
the silver sands.
Over that watery tomb no tears
but heavens ever fall, no love is
shOwered but the sunlight of Gods
love. Oh, the loved and lost ones
that sleep SO far away.
But when the angels shall sound
the last sweet notes of praise aud
love to God when the last trumpet
it's summons shall sound, the sea
will yield up its dead.
Ne read once sad sweet story,
of storm on the fretful bay of
Matauigas. Day dawned red and
lowering, the sea birds flew inland,
stretching their long necks and
white wings as If beckoning to the
fast approaching stern. A party
OF gentlemen had been out on a
guiana hunt, but were driven back
by the lowering clouds, and were
hurrying TO reach shelter before
the gale would burst. One of the
gentlemen halted, pointed to a sail
far ont q sea then gallOped furious
" on. As be reached the beach
the storm burst forth in all its fury.
| Crowds of fishermen thrOnged the
shore, gazing to see the fate of the
doomed vessel, when the wild tones
of the signal gun pealed over the
tossing waves. After a while .
boat was seen making Its way to
to the shore, another moment aud u
great hungry wave broke over it,
aud swept all into the sea. An
other wave aud the form OF a wO'
man clasping ii lovely babe in her
arms, was seen for a moment, then
passed from sight forever.
Aud to-day, though no lilies OF
fOrget-me-nOis wave over the fail
lady aud golden-baired child
though in tue tading light of the
twilight hour no plalntive warbler
sings above them, they rest "a
sweetly meath the eeaseless roll oi
the waves, as il sleeping peaceful
ly on the softest down.
I Rest on pale sleepers meath the cold
cold waves,
Sleep on in oceans dark realms;
For the day win soon dawn when Al
!. sleepers viii wake,
And the sea viii give up its dead.

GALVESTON's EX-TREASURER.
He Tarns Up in San Francisco with
Proofs of Penstance.


Proofs of Penstance.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 2G.-W. J.
Burk, the defsulting treasurer of
Galveston county, Texas, who disap-
pesred last November, g shortage of
$4,000 having been found in his accounts
appeared at the flee Of the Associated
Press in this city this evening and ssid he
desired to return to Galveston and plead
guilty. When Burk left Galveston be
carried away $4,000 worth of bonds of
the Sante Fe Railway, which were held
by Galveston county for permanent school
fund. Burk had returned SIS, 900 worth
Of these bonds, and exhibited receipt
showing he had shipped the bonds by ex-
press from here to Galveston four
days ago. After leaving Galveston
last November he came here and remained
in hiding two weeks, when he sailed for
Australia. He ran out of funds and
finally decided to return, shipping as q
coal HEAVIER on the steamer Mariposs,
which arrived here July .. On arriving
here he wrote to Galveston parties, stat
ing his intention TO return, but the
letter was regarded as Joke
He says he will wait here till
next Monday for money or the deputy
sheriff from Galveston, and if neither ar
riyes he will deliver himself to the s1er:f #
of this county. Bu1k showed several
letters from Galveston friends, asking
and urging him not to return. They are
addressed to him under the fictitious name
he assumed.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug % 1t is said
q telegram has been received from de-
faulting Treasurer Burk stating that the
missing bonds were expressed last Mon
day. II the bonds were shipped on that
dsy they should have arrived last even
ing, but so far have failed to materialize.
Another letter purporting to have been
sent by Burk has been received, in which
it is stated be assigns reasons for not
sending the school bonds sooner,
ard states he would ship them
Monday, tue 22d. There are few
who believe in the sinceri y
of these assurances OF the Ascending
Treasurer, but the general opinion seems
to be that neither the bonds nor Burk
will ever make their appearance in Gal
weston.

New Railroad,

A new railroad in which this section is
interested has It's prospectus out. This
is the Fl Paso and Northeastern of New
Mexico and Texas, which is to begin at
E Paso and run northeasterly across the
corner of New Mexico and the western
extremity of the Panhandle, in nearly 8
straight line toward Kansas City, to
which latter point they may ulti-
mstely extend. The northern ter
minus of the road as now projected
is to be on the Canadian river, connecting
with other outlets, and the length of the
road will be 355 miles. AS the Pioneer
hes had occasion to remak 8 few times
before, so it now remarks again: All
new railroads point toward the Panhard die
and toward Tascosa. Every indication is
that this will yet be the commercial and
railroad metropolis of the southwest
i Tascosa Pioneer.

Yesterday from a trip to Quanah,
The last of the Georgia Central cars,
which came in laden with eastern freight,
mas been hauled from the Texas and Pa
cifc wards to its Savannah home.
The Texas railroads are now using pine
ties yerv generally and find them TO be
satisfactory in nearly ali cases. Several
of the roads lately built from Fort Worth
have used pine ties exclusively.
Mr.. Huntington is back at home, and It
is believed that as soon as he can mollfy
Mrs Hettie Green the work Of building
several Houston and Texas Central extern
sions will begin.
In month from now tits expected that
the track Of the Fort Worth and Denver
will be at Tescoss in Oldham county.
Sbonld the road from FL Paso toward
Kansas CITY pass through Tascosa It will
hecome very important city OF the great
Panhandle.
The Fort Worth committee having in
hand the securing of right OF wsy for the
s.. Louis, Arkansas and Texas IN Dallas
county have been delayed by the changes
made in the location Of the line, but eX-
nee; 10 take the field in earnest next
week. The work of grading in this coun-
" progresses rapidly.
One reason why some OF the railroads
have Celsyed building extensions oTeXas
and in Texas is that there is scarcity OF
,ne+erisl. but the mills of all kinds are
working heavy forces and extra hours
and a few months more will ind rallrosd
mster,sl to be in abundance. 1t is pre-
Diced nv rsilrosd papers that 1883 will
see an immense amount of railroad con
st,uctIon and all signs indicate thai
Texss will lesd all of her sister states
and Fort Worth all of her sister cities.
Railroad men report it very dull Just 8,
this time, but saw that business up to the
middle of August was considerably ahead
of LAST wear, and they are OF the opinion
that the present lull will be OF short dura
tion. 1t is certain thst by the end OF Sep
TENDER southwestern roads will have al
they can do, and the trunk lines are pre-
parirg for the heaviest business done IN
wears. The indications are that Texas
roads especially will have an unusually
prosperous fall and winter traffic.

10 speaking OF the Chatsworth disaster,
the Railroad Gazette gives the following
interesting facts: Several minor mis-
haps occurred to the train. First, the
air brake stuck, and when the east side
of tie Illinois river was rescued it was
found that forty-five minutes had been
lost to start with. At Weston, ffty-three
miles out, a draw bar CT one
OF the cars pulled out, and on
account of the crowded condition of
the train 6n extra car was taken on at
Forrest, twelve miles beyond Weston.
Time was also consumed in taking OF
large numbers of people at the principal
stops, so that upon leaving Forrest the
train was almost two hours late. From
Forrest to within mile west OF Chats
worth the grade is ascending, about
thirty feet to the mile. The train left
Chatsworth at As p. N. Eastward
from that town the track is straight and
the gride undulstiug, the general
average being decline. None
of the grades exceed twenty five feet to
the mile. At the foot Of each of the three
grades is wooden trestle. The first is
about thirty-fve feet long, the second
about twenty, and the third, where the
accident occurred, was sixteen feet long,
and spanned ia little slough or run in
which there has been no water for months.
These three bridges are about mile
apsrt, thus bringing the scene Of the
W eek about three miles east OF Chats
worth.

CROCKETT, TEX, Aug. PA light

it rained for about one hour, and it is be-
lieved impsrting sufficient moisture to the
earth to bring up turnips and materially
benefit potatoes and other fall crops The
drouth that has prevailed since about the

it will be cut short from % TO 50 per cent.

In many sections OF the county 10 rain
